In 2019, Pitt talked to the New York Times about being sober. He finished a 12-step program.

Pitt said, 'The program was helpful. Men were honest with each other, and it felt safe.'

Pitt looked back on his life and remembered a hard time. He felt like he didn't know what to do.

Pitt said, 'I was never going to hurt myself. I'm an optimist, and that helps me.'

He said, 'But I did feel a lot of pain once. It was so bad that I thought about relief.'

Pitt said, 'Life is hard, but I won the lottery.'
